[ music ] The Blessed Breeze // Fruit Bats

Spent the past couple of days doing nothing much, unfortunately. I need to go back to jogging and exercising in general… Have a meeting on Wednesday as well as brunch with friends (it’s Restaurant Week, folks! And it’s being extended to Labor Day!). I’ve also been watching How I Met Your Mother with my brother and a lot of things they teach you in the show are actually true. For example, long-distance relationships never work out. And you will regret anything you do after 2AM. Life lessons, yo.

• Wallpapers – added 1 of Alan and 1 of Arctic Monkeys.

I’m stuck on creating a new non-sucky layout that has an actual graphic other than text. And I’m kinda procrastinating with that Wordpress theme tutorial. I think I’ll put it off again and work on something else. Hm, I haven’t watched Korean variety shows in a while. Maybe I’ll go waste my time doing that instead.

I received an email that I was not expecting and my bad mood from the past few days is suddenly gone. It feels like I have regained the strength to go on with life. Today I came across a very interesting quote, “Life is like riding a bicycle. In order to keep your balance, you must keep moving.” So true, so true. I really need to remind myself to remain optimistic.

To celebrate, update!

• LJ Icons – Okay, it’s only three icons of BoA, Jo-Kwon, and G-Dragon, but…it’s something?
• Wallpapers – added 1 Han Ji Hye (image from previous layout), 1 abstract (needed to make it for something else, actually), and 1 G-Dragon (love his new “Heartbreaker” concept photos).

[ music ] Fate // Four stay Mary

What the heck? An actual update? Yessiree. After all, it’s Spring Break, although there’s a ton of work to be done. 3 papers, 2 flyers, 2 group projects, volunteer, completing service forms, regular homework, etc. What fun. Can’t wait till I’m out of the country next month.

• Scans – I decided to take them out of the Coppermine gallery to try and see if they actually show up on search engines when they’re integrated into Wordpress via pages. It was really annoying posting all those pictures, I tell you.
• HQ Image Gallery – added some new pictures of 2PM and 2NE1.
• Animated GIFs – one of 2NE1.
• Banners – 1 of Boys Before Flowers (Soeul fandom, yo).
• LJ Icons – new post with Buffy, Wonder Girls, Park Hyo Shin, and Boys Before Flowers. My icon making is super rusty at the moment.
• Tutorials – added 1 of how to make GIFs with .mov files.
• Wallpapers – added 1 of 2PM.

[ music ] 我只在乎你 // 鄧麗君

Hey all. As you can see, there’s a new layout of Koda Kumi up. Unfortunately, I am not too fond of it because the content is very disconnected with the banner. So expect a change when my finals are over.

• Wallpapers – but I have made a wallpaper with the image above.

[ music ] Don’t Don // Super Junior

I don’t know if I’ve done something terrible recently, but karma seems to be catching up with me. Sickness, work overload, messed up schedules, etc. Nonetheless, there’s always something to be positive about. Like being able to buy the IDC book, thanks to Lu, or finding the inspiration to write and make graphics. And looking forward to celebrating my aunt’s birthday. It’s like they say – God never puts more pressure on people than they can handle.

A small update (by the way, I really hate Photoshopping on my laptop – donate to the get Margaret a new hard drive fund today!):

• HQ Image Gallery – added some new images of Big Bang, Shinee, Rain, and the Tudors.
• Banners – added 1 of TOP (Big Bang).
• Wallpapers – added 1 of TOP (no I’m not fangirling over him).
